Over a period of twenty five years Catherine II (Russia), Frederick II (Prussia) and Maria Theresa and Joseph II (Austria) between them wiped Poland xxx; Europe's second largest countryxxx; off the political map, and Poland disappeared as a state for 120 years. Jerzy Lukowski's new account, the first comprehensive study of the topic in English since 1915, sets the Polish dimension of this story in its wider European context, illuminating the motives and attitudes of the participants and exploring its consequences. This is a major contribution to the diplomatic history of eighteenth century Europe.Source: PublisherGet bookBuy DigitalThis editionAny editionBorrowEdit locationCancelCheck availability at libraries near youNo matching city or zip codeOther editions19991999Jun 17, 2014Dec 7, 2016LongmanLongmanTaylor & FrancisTaylor & Francis GroupPaperbackHardcoverEbookHardcover232 pages232 pages248 pages248 pagesMore editionsCommon terms and phrasesAGAD/ZPagreedallianceambassadorannexationarmyArnethAustriaBalkansBaristBenoitBPANBranickiBrzesc KujawskiCatherineCatherine’sCatholiccenturyConfederacyconfirmedconstitutionalCrownCzartoryskiDanzigDecDelegationDelegation SejmdiplomaticDuchyEast PrussiaenvoysfinalfinallyFinckensteinfirstFranceFrederick 11Frederick to SolmsFrederick WilliamFrederick’s replyFrenchfrontierGaliciaHabsburgMore terms and phrasesShow lessSimilar booksThe European Nobility in the Eighteenth Century (European Culture and Society)By Jeremy Black, Jerzy LukowskiThe position of the nobility depended on a stable world which accepted their authority: but, in the eighteenth century, that world was becoming increasingly fractured as a result of social and ...About the workCopyright date: 1999Subject: History / Europe / Eastern, History / Europe / General, History / General, History / Modern / 18th Century, History / Europe / PolandMOREAuthorJerzy Tadeusz Lukowski is a Polish-British historian at University of Birmingham.
